When Christmas is over, the focus switches from present wrapping to resolution writing.
Our goals for the new year can range from dropping a certain amount of weight to being nicer to those relatives that can get on our nerves. We may even include some pet-positive resolutions!
However, some people have very, very specific challenges in mind. We can admire these folks for taking on such undertakings, while still wondering how they are possibly going to do them.
Many are willing to tell the entire world of these hopes and dreams they're going to try to tackle, so we collected some of the most bizarre and unique New Year's resolutions we came across to share with you.
Did these inspire your very own specific goals, or do you already have some in mind? Let us know in the comments below, and please SHARE with your friends and family on Facebook!
